"Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think." ~Albert Einstein

Welcome! I am a former video game developer, serious games, and various robotics/computer vision/UI/systems R&D engineer turned academic. I am a third-year Ph.D. student at the University of Southern California with eight years of industry experience, and am interested in research topics spanning machine learning, behavior signal processing, experience modeling, and brain/human-computer interaction.

Currently, I am working towards improving quantification and measurement of student engagement and thinking about its applications to other unstructured and interactive experiences such as video games. To support this effort, I built the Experience Lab at USC with the help of many students!
